About this Event

One in Four, One in Eight takes its title from the statistic that one in four known pregnancies ends in loss in the US and one in eight people needs medical intervention to get to the journey of pregnancy. This project is a concert performance featuring new music that engages the experience of infertility and pregnancy loss and builds a sonic space to explore a deeply personal, physical, and embodied ordeal that is externally invisible and often socially stigmatized.

This piece is a 60-minute concert event which features new music written through the lenses of infertility and pregnancy loss, hybridizing a classical music concert designed to articulate the emotional and physical contours of these lived experiences with medically objective content provided by healthcare professionals and scientific research. By attaching the deeply subjective positioning of music to the staunchly objective and procedural work of medicine, One in Four, One in Eight insists that there is room for both the human being and science in the same space, and it recognizes the complexities of how these two elements co-exist.

The concert format – which includes pre- and post-concert talks as well as newly commissioned visual artwork by a Pittsburgh-based artist – upends typical performance conventions in an effort to welcome a wider audience as it weaves together scientific knowledge and creative arts.
